Waterfalls in Iceland – Map & List by Region

A short list of waterfalls worth a stop in the van. Ring Road means it sits on Route 1. Detour means you leave the ring for it.

Ring Road stops

Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss and Goðafoss are the ones you pass on Route 1. They are busy in summer. Park only in the marked car park.

Detours

Everything else means extra driving: the Golden Circle, Snæfellsnes, the Westfjords, the east, or a walk off the ring. Check the road before you commit, and stay on the path at the falls.
